Join contributors Gary Kamiya, John Law, Kimberly Reyes, and Alia Volz for stories, conversation, and a Q&A session.

Breaking Into NFTs: A Guide for Artists
6:00 pm – 7:15 pm | Virtual Event | Free (Registration Required)
What exactly are NFTs? Are they really the next big thing in digital art collecting, or just the next dodgy form of Dogecoin? ARTogether knows you need answers, and has put together a presentation just for you. Join artist and educator Roya Ebtehaj and software engineer Marco Primi for this virtual workshop and learn to navigate the world of NFTs as an emerging or established artist.

Pay-What-You-Can Taco Day @TATO
11:00 am – 5:00 pm | TATO, 4608 3rd Street | $0-10
Every Friday, you can order from TATO’s “Taco Love” menu and pay anywhere from $0-10 for your meal. Whenever you pay the full $10, TATO will give a free meal to someone else in need. Now that’s what I call mutual aid! (Big ups to our pals at SF FunCheap for the tip on this one!)
